Mourinho in?

Still Wenger In now but with a caveat that if we don't challenge this (you may need to look that word up) season then he should be sacked.

It's you and the other Fundamentalist Wengerophobes who are completely entrenched in your opinions and won't budge an inch no matter what happens.

Never been called a Fundamentalist before - makes me sound like I'm a terror threat!!!

I would agree that I am entrenched in my opinions basically because Mr Wenger is entrenched in his. I was absolutely entrenched with a view that we should have bought another DM & striker last year. I am still entrenched with this view, even more so with injury to Coq & knowing that the next time Theo's ankle hits a particulary strong blade of grass, he'll be out for another 2 months. I am completely entrenched with the knowledge that we need to act by buying a top DM in the Jan window. Wenger knows this, as he knew he needed a top striker last year but he will be entrenched in his belief that we'll get by with what we've got to manage another top 4 finish. When Wenger can un-entrench himself from his routine of just doing enough & show us that he wants & knows how to take the title seriously, he may un-entrench me slightly but we both know there will no quality DM bought in Jan because he will feel we will do enough with Flamini & Arteta. Enough to guarantee 4th.

I don't think we'll sign anyone of note in January. While we're in the title hunt - which is where I now expect us to be - I'll back him.
If we fall away because of his inaction then I'll change my view.

But like a few years ago when we were in the hunt at Xmas - then had bad injuries to Rambo & Theo ( who were scoring most of our goals ) - he failed to act tin the Jan window, the goals dried up as did our title shout.
Here we are, same position again but with our only proper DM out until late Feb/early March - its not even a discussion. We need to buy a DM - no brainer, nothing to even think about - we have the money - just do it. In what other business would this not happen - if you were close to a major contract but needed to employ another member of staff to give you a better chance of getting it.

Where did you get this definition from? Everything you said that about being a fan is IMO wrong.

It's easier said than done making a major signing in the January window, I agree it would help our title chances although wouldn't rule us out if we don't sign anyway.
The buck stops with Wenger, if he's unwilling or enable to sign anyone and we fall out of the title race then he should be fired. Probably won't be, mind.

Im a genteel kind of person so I wont say he probably got that definition from his a--e

There is a difference from two years ago, no one expected that we would win the title.

Now for me, we can and we should win the title....City are inconsistent, United are a bit like Liverpool after Dalglish left in 1991 and Chelsea ha ha ha ha.

I agree with Wenger it's a good thing for football that Leicester are top after 16 games, but for an Arsenal fan what is good in football is if we win the league.

We've got to perform when it's necessary, no more going to teams like West Brom and giving them three points, no more capitulations to our title rivals. We've got injuries? Fuck it so have City.

Tomorrow should never come, enough building for the future that never happens....it has to be now

Sounds more like an extremist than a fan to me.

I would literally eat my own shit if it would prevent Mourinho becoming Arsenal manager. Horrible little cunt. I hope he fucks off out of this league permanently.

Guardiola's free at the end of the season :coffee:
